Is the seller willing to hold a second?
If not then the agent is probably correct.

Chris, you need to get the detailed financial picture on this property (rent rolls, leases, current tax & hazard insurance, income and operating expenses) this is pretty standard stuff and always required in small commercial deals (FYI anything over 4 units is considered commercial).
Is the seller willing to carry any secondary financing? What is the appraised value of the property? How did the seller arrive at his/her asking price? How?s your credit? What do you have for down pmt and closing?
Answer these questions and the answer to your question will become more evident?
